stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.137 commit 483ad8a16fde9ac866b79f045740d2cbe0076114 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I60PLB
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit 045ed31e23aea840648c290dbde04797064960db ]
The kfifo_to_user() macro is supposed to return zero for success or negative error codes. Unfortunately, there is a signedness bug so it returns unsigned int. This only affects callers which try to save the result in ssize_t and as far as I can see the only place which does that is line6_hwdep_read().
TL;DR: s/_uint/_int/.
